[FYI just in case mew're wundering, the P.A. doesn't use patterns, she just thinks of something and makes it up as she goes along. But we will tell mew this, she did go to fashion school school fur 2 years many eons ago, but she really taught herself to sew when she about 4 years old on her grandmothers manual Singer machine. Though she doesn't really do much sewing these days, she used to make evening gowns and hand-bead them. She makes curtains too, and even reupholsters furniture when required.]

And here's our furry own Supurr Smooch ready by the door to leap....no bound... no fly at a moments notice to do whateffur, whereffur, wheneffur because HE CAN!  Jeez what guy!

 Smooch said, "Smoke me a kipper and I'll be back fur lunch!!!"

Parsley said that he wanted to try the Supurr Hero cape because he's known among the CosPlay community as Supurr Sauce, how could we deny him!

Then young Fudge said, "Supurr Sauce, can I get a supurr cape like yours and some of that pawesomely fabulous supurr hero cologne mew're wearing?"

Sauce looked at him and said, "Dude mew're not old enough to fly and no, mew can't wear my signature scent."

Fudge said, "But it's so cool, I really, really want one because it's so pawesome and I could be The Fudginator and smell just like mew!"

Yep we don't think the wurld is quite ready fur The Fudginator just yet! MOL
